The Control Body completed the checks CNADNR

The Control Body of the Prime Minister completed the checks at the National Company of Motorways and National Roads in Romania (CNADNR), control covering the period January 2007 - august 2012, which aimed at identifying the causes of delays in execution of infrastructure works ongoing road, it said in a statement of the government.

After the analysis made by the Control Body of a number of 31 works contracts for rehabilitation / upgrading and construction of roads and highways, “in which there have been delays in execution of works”, there were many cases that stand the behind these delays.

"One of the main problems identified was the insufficient mobilization on site construction of the firms executing the analyzed contracts. Thus, although on the paper had sufficient personnel and equipment on the extent of work involved, the situation was quite different field," reads the release.

According to the cited source, this cause stayed behind the registration of a delay in execution of works on several roads such as DN 6 Alexandria - Craiova - Lot 1 and Lot 2 rehabilitation, the construction of by-pass the city of Caracal, rehabilitation of DN 76.
